High-Density Foam Products for Medical and Life Science Applications

General Plastics’ rigid polyurethane foam makes a meaningful difference in the medical and life science fields. Our specially engineered LAST-A-FOAM® Performance Core Series and X-ray Transparent Core Series have a strong track record of use with medical imaging equipment. The high-density foam material is lightweight yet strong, while providing a homogeneous background that is transparent to X-rays. These characteristics make our medical-industry foams ideal as core panels for X-ray and diagnostic tables, beds for CT scanners, and as calibration materials. And, thanks to its low AI equivalent, LAST-A-FOAM® supports high-quality X-ray and CT images with minimal patient radiation exposure.

LAST-A-FOAM®FR-3700 products possess properties that mimic human bone densities. They are regularly used in orthopedics as artificial media for bone testing. They serve as a close approximation of human bone for research purposes, and for medical students to develop their surgical skills.
